<< What would explain this strange set of conditions and the badly worn con-

bearings. Any thoughts. Should I not replace the pistons and liners if
they pass inspection by the machine shop.
Any advice and/or opinions from you folks that have done this before would
be highly valued.

Hello Brian
Perhaps there is a bit difference in the weight of the two types of pistons
and that had something to do with the rod brgs. I think if it was me I'd look
at a new set of pistons. I think you can still get them w/o the liners.
I would probably also do the cam brgs, maybe new cam. If you do the cam I
think you must also do new lifters. Also go ahead and put in hardened valve
seats.
Have I spent enough of your money yet?
BTW a lot of people seem to feel the new rear seals (rubber) are the way to
go. I've done a number of engines and have yet to have a problem with the
magical original type seal. These things really do work.
